First Aid Kits
Commercial First Aid Kits are essential safety equipment for UK restaurants, hotels and workplaces—keeping you compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations while ensuring you're prepared for emergencies. From fully-stocked catering kits with blue detectable plasters to comprehensive workplace solutions with burn treatments, these professional-grade medical supplies are designed specifically for commercial environments. After 50 years helping businesses stay safe, we've seen how these kits work alongside fire safety equipment and anti-slip mats to create a complete safety ecosystem. They're not just a legal requirement—they're vital protection for your staff, customers and business!

How Commercial First Aid Kits Work
Commercial first aid kits are thoughtfully designed systems containing all the essential supplies needed for emergency treatment. Unlike basic home kits, HSE compliant workplace solutions are categorized by risk level (low, medium, high) and staff numbers. Each kit contains specific quantities of sterile dressings, plasters, bandages, and treatment accessories appropriate for your business type. Restaurant kits often include blue detectable plasters and burn treatments, while construction kits might have extra eye wash and trauma supplies. The contents are arranged for quick access during emergencies, with clear instructions helping even untrained staff provide immediate assistance until professional help arrives.

Top Tips for Using Commercial First Aid Kits
To maximise the effectiveness of your workplace first aid kit, conduct monthly audits to check for expired items and restock used supplies immediately—we've seen too many businesses caught short during emergencies. Display clear signage showing where kits are located, and train multiple staff members in basic first aid. For restaurants, position kits strategically in both kitchen and front-of-house areas. Always keep an accident log alongside your kit to record treatments and identify recurring safety issues that might need addressing.

Real-World Success with Commercial First Aid Kits
A bustling gastropub in Norwich demonstrates the genuine value of proper first aid preparation. After a kitchen porter suffered a significant burn from hot oil, the readily available burn gel and dressings in their catering-specific first aid kit provided immediate relief. 'Having the right supplies right there in the kitchen made all the difference,' the head chef told us. 'The injury could have been much worse, but our staff knew exactly where the kit was and what to use—saved us from losing a team member during our busiest period and prevented a potential trip to A&E.'
FAQs
- What size first aid kit does my restaurant need? For restaurants with under 25 staff, a medium-risk 10-25 person kit is typically sufficient.
- Are blue plasters really necessary for catering? Yes—they're detectable by food safety equipment if they fall into food production.
- How often should I check and restock my workplace first aid kit? Monthly checks are recommended, with immediate restocking after use.
- Do I need different kits for kitchen and front-of-house? Ideally yes—kitchens benefit from burn-specific supplies while front areas need general treatment options.
- Are wall-mounted or portable kits better for restaurants? Both—wall-mounted in fixed locations and portable kits for large venues or outside catering.
- How many staff need first aid training? HSE recommends at least one trained first-aider per shift plus adequate cover for absences.
